The Future of Oil & Gas 2017

Innovation – Commercialization – Productivity

Canada’s oil and gas industry must navigate the ongoing energy transition by leveraging its expertise and highly skilled workforce, accelerating technological innovation, speeding up commercialization, restructuring systems and operations for sustained productivity, and innovating pro-actively across the board. By doing so successfully, the industry can reinvent itself and emerge as a global energy leader in the new low-carbon economy. The Future of Oil & Gas event will seek to uncover how the industry can do that by focusing on 3 crucial topics: Innovation, Commercialization and Productivity.

Join the Canadian oil and gas industry’s most innovative and forward-looking companies to dissect and debate how energy companies must navigate the global energy transition through their approach to these three key issues.
